The Farmers

Small Kine Farms

Small Kine Farms

Yang noticed that people were recycling more than glass, plastics and paper. They were getting rid of a lot of organic waste. This led Yang to growing mushrooms in compost that goes through a pasteurization process to make sure it is “clean” and to kill off any insects or pest fungi that might be in the compost. The entire process from preparing the compost to harvesting the mushrooms takes several months. Small Kine grows the best Certified Organic crimini / portabella mushrooms!
